I think the thing that would keep me sane is that I’m fascinated in trying to figure out how a single AI-generated paragraph can be accurately detected.
But yeah, the common permutation of multiple pargraphs, the first starting with reaffirm/validate/reiterate is downright obnoxious.
‘I’m sorry to hear you’re having such difficulties with editing ChatGPT-generated content. It can be challenging and even frustrating at times, but with’ lol
If I ever picked up a side hustle, it’d be basic editing. ChatGPT has displaced the ghost writer but it can’t polish its own turd.

Bicycling and water jogging are both great but the former is far more accessible. Flat pedals are better if you’re injured/recovering since you can adjust your foot positioning (if clipless aren’t dialed in right you’re kinda locked in and can exacerbate injury, and if you don’t unclip in time you fall over). Padded gloves to keep vibration from aggravating things. I was in a boot for 6 months from a gnarly stress fracture but my doc cleared me for biking and I basically lived on a bike.
Also range of motion, biking helps for that since you’re constantly articulating your ankles and loosening up the ‘rust’. Trace the alphabet with your toes a couple times a day to stay on the up and up.
Check with doc ofc, and might help to get bloodwork so see if you’re deficient in anything and also see if there’s some root cause if you’re injury prone. Turns out I had a vitamin D deficiency so I started taking a ton of D+K2, couple years later I got back into running and building up mileage pretty realistically and went couch to 50k in 8 months, before that I was always getting injured. Not saying it’s specifically that, could be lots of things or nothing, but in my case I found that thing out and the sky was the limit afterwords. It’d be cool if it was some overlooked thing like that for you
Fun hammer fact: it’s called dead blow not because it’s supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor
Now I’m thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark
It got the ‘trendy buzzword treatment’. There was a time when people were using it pretty heavily to describe professionals with specific skillsets and expertise sent to foreign (usually emerging) markets where hiring locals might be spotty. There was a time when, if an expat asked a local where expats hung out, the locals would interpret it as them asking where the foreign professionals would hang out, and usually they’d all talk shop/share experiences, that kind of thing.
There are of course multiple definitions but the corporate world started flinging it around like such. If you were chosen to be an expat you were basically ‘A team’ material - smart, reliable, trusted with a generous amount of autonomy, that kind of thing.
But it conveyed some sort of prestige, like ‘entrepreneur’. Now lots of people use it loosely as a colloquialism to describe anyone from a dyed-in-the-wool immigrant to someone who took a 6 month sabbatical to have an extended vacation on a sunny beach

That’s probably more helpful than you think. It’s often a little discouraging to be out there and watching most of the world just pass by with indifference. Even a couple chirps of a car horn or a high five from a passing stranger helps
I just learned today since I’ve never been compelled to look up any sort of conversion chart, but I had a hunch because dress/pants sizes are all over the place. One brand’s mostly-honest 12 is another brand’s flattering 4, shit like that
I actually landed on the deer and it got up without kicking me, but in my thoroughly concussed state I thought the best course of action was to just make some huge stream of thought facebook post and basically narrate my ordeal lol
But yeah I had a rottweiler-sized bruise on the left side of my body, shit was gnarly. It was a long ass night
Probably that I got charged by a deer in the middle of fucking nowhere on the tail end of a solo 150 mile gravel bike ride, Macguyvered that thing and rode home. That actually surprises me lol
I wasn’t an athletic or tough kid by any stretch (smallest kid in class and asthma to top it off) so he’d probably get a kick out of me running ultras, biking through mud 150 miles at a time, ditching the car and running to work
How do you condition someone to be loyal/obedient and not a liability? You haze them with the implication that a whole lot worse could happen, and then you test them. “You gotta promise not to tell anyone this, I’m trusting you” usually loosely translates to “I just told you something bogus and everyone is listening to see if you’re gonna spill the beans, and if so we’ll beat the everliving shit out of you until you learn”
In the event one is transferred but not both then the previous owner should be able to claim that it is theirs and then the state voids and reissues both. ‘Don’t buy a car without the title’ would just become ‘don’t buy a car without the title and the corresponding other thing’
Kinda. I mean, my car titles are just sitting in a safe somewhere. Probably easier to just steal and part out a car than it is to do fancy title tricks but I digress. If someone managed to swipe them it’d be a pain in the ass at a minimum.
Ticketmaster, they just dump tickets in user’s accounts that are somehow getting hacked left and right. But, since they’re accounts at Ticketmaster, you have the password and they also have the password (hopefully hashed). If they instead had users associate a wallet to their account, Ticketmaster could instead dump ‘NFT tickets’ to the wallet, you can keep the wallet cold, go to the event, flash a QR code along the way, and you’d be the only person with the password and it Ticketmaster got hacked your tickets wouldn’t be compromised.
I don’t think it’s good to go burning gas on high frequency transactions like concert tickets but it kinda highlights how having that additional layer can make things slightly more bulletproof, without making things too much of a pain.
But also in terms of a compromised blockchain, I bet it’s 800 times easier to do some social engineering and gain access to a filing cabinet
Hypothetically if it had more acceptance NFTs/contracts could be used for authentication/verification of all sorts of things. You buy a house, county clerk files proof of your ownership away, they could do the same kind of stuff on the block chain as well, make something like title fraud a lot more difficult to pull off. Deed accompanied by a transferrable little nugget of data on the block chain, that type of deal. Backing up data is important and with this you basically plaster it onto 8 million different hard drives around the world with the snap of a finger
True, but it’s not a competition. When big tech tightens their belts NVDA starves to death
For starters, don’t explain the fundamentals of the blockchain to someone unless you’re done waterboarding them and walking them back to their cell.
It’ll implode but there are much larger elephants in the room - geopolitical dumbassery and the suddenly transient nature of the CHIPS Act are two biggies.
Third, high flying growth, blue sky darlings, they’re flaky. In a downturn growth is worth 0 fucking dollars, throw that shit in a dumpster and rotate into staples. People can push off a phone upgrade or new TV and cut down on subscriptions, but they’ll always need Pampers.
The thing propping up AI and semis is an arms race between those high flying tech companies, so this whole thing is even more prone to imploding than tech itself, since a ton of revenue comes from tech. Sensitive sector supported by an already sensitive sector. House of cards with NVDA sitting right at the tippy top. Apple, Facebook, those kinds of companies, when they start trimming back it’s over.
But, it’s one of those things that is anyone’s guess. When you think it’s not even possible for everything to still have steam one of the big guys like TSMC posts some really delightful earnings and it gets another second wind, for the 29th time.
Definitely a house of cards tho, and suddenly a lot more precarious because suddenly nobody knows how policy will affect the industry or the market as a whole
They say shipping is the bellwhether of the economy and there’s a lot of truth to that. I think semis are now the bellwhether of growth. Sit back and watch the change in the wind
Sometimes you just need a day or two where you don’t do a damned thing and there should be no shame in it. Self-care is often described as things one can do, active things, verbs. Sometimes the compulsion to always be doing something is the crux of the problem
